Manta Bargara Resort

Welcome to Manta Bargara Resort Queensland, luxury waterfront apartments in the idyllic seaside setting of Bargara Beach; perfectly positioned at the southern tip of the Great Barrier Reef and just minutes from the city of Bundaberg.

Manta’s ingenious apartments extend from one side of the building to the other; allowing the sea breezes to flow right through. Enhancing the stunning ocean views are high ceilings, extensive floor to ceiling glazing and open plan layouts that fuse effortlessly with the oversized timber decks, oceanfront balconies and private rooftop terraces.

Luxurious master suites capture views to the ocean; enjoy direct access to a terrace and adjoin a lavish ensuite with a twin vanity and a spa.

Manta is just 300 metres from Bargara's vibrant town centre, along The Esplanade which embraces the coastline with cycle-ways, playgrounds, picnic areas, timber decks and boardwalks overlooking Bargara Beach. Manta Bargara Resort is just 300 metres from the great cafes and restaurants set within Bargara’s tropical streetscapes. Choose from five golf clubs, including an international standard 18-hole golf course at Coral Cove and Bargara Golf Club, which is only 600 metres from Manta Bargara Resort.

Nine Mile Reef, off Tweed Heads, has a reputation among locals as being a “sharky” spot. All year long, a good population of wobbegongs call the reef home, but are joined by leopard sharks in summer and grey nurse sharks in winter.

Currumbin is an inspiring beachfront community where the epic Currumbin Creek waterway links to the pristine rainforest mountains of the region when heading west. Currumbin Creek and the Alley, the entrance to the ocean, offer a protected and patrolled haven for all kinds of active water sports, particularly stand-up paddle boarding and kayaking.

Snapper Rocks is a small rocky outcrop on the northern side of Point Danger at the southern end of Rainbow Bay on the Gold Coast. Snapper is a point break forming the first part of the man-made Superbank which extends from Snapper Rocks Point, through Rainbow Bay, Greenmount Point, Coolangatta Beach, and Kirra, for a distance of around two kilometres.

There's variations on what the word Kirra actually means, but some believe Queensland Aborigines named it after a boomerang. Which makes sense as Kirra wraps evocatively around the bend separating Coolangatta and Kirra beaches and in front of Kirra Hill.

Heading into the Currumbin Valley is a little like entering an Aladdin's Cave of adventure. From the coastline, head southwest into another world along Currumbin Creek Road which leads to Tomewin Mountain Road winding up to Tomewin Mountain.

Just when you thought the Gold Coast couldn't get any more relaxed you arrive over the hill and into Tugun. This southern Gold Coast suburb is so laid-back that locals fondly call her Tugz (pronounced choog-s) while ancient Aborigines referred to Tugun as a place of "breaking waves".

Cook Island, a short boat trip from the Gold Coast, is an accessible and appealing dive site for all experience levels. Hard and soft corals cover the bottom in some areas, with boulders forming walls and caves descending to the sandy sea floor in others.

Not far from Kirra Beach, one of the Gold Coast’s top surfing destinations, is one of its most interesting dive sites; Kirra Reef. Consisting of scattered rocky outcrops covered in kelp fronds, there are scores of hidden gems throughout the reef.

The southern Gold Coast's famous sandy beaches and world-class surf breaks conclude at Coolangatta, renowned for its casual beach-side culture.
Spend the day surfing, SUP or swimming with the locals at Coolangatta, Greenmount, Duranbah, Palm Beach and into southern Rainbow Bay.
